Manual Ankle Rocking Training on Postural Control and Foot Function in Children With Down Syndrome

January 4, 2023 updated by: Riphah International University

Effects of Manual Ankle Rocking Training on Postural Control and Foot Function in Children With Down Syndrome

Down syndrome occurs due to abnormal cell division of extra chromosome 21. It is a genetic disorder that causes postural un stability, leads to poor foot function and causes them difficulty that they can't fulfill their daily life activities and can't be independent. Strengthening exercise of lower limb and core strengthening of trunk muscle will provide postural stability and lower limb strengthening. Aim of this research is to determine the effects of manual Ankle rocking training on postural control and foot function in children with Down syndrome. Those who are diagnosed with down syndrome and are between age 8-15 and both of the genders are included in this research and those who have any surgical issue, visual impairment and musculoskeletal contractures are not included in the study we will use static standing balance test to check postural control and foot function index for Ankle rocking training from two group in which one will be given the baseline treatment of lower limb exercise and core strengthening with ankle rocking training and the other group without ankle rocking training and then the collected data will be analyzed by SPSS. 22

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in foot function index score
Time Frame: Baseline and 9th week
A Foot Function Index (FFI) was developed in 1991 to measure the impact of foot pathology on function in terms of pain, disability and activity restriction. It is a self-administered index consisting of 23 items divided into 3 sub-scales. Both total and sub-scale scores are produced.
Baseline and 9th week
Static standing balance test
Time Frame: baseline and 9th week
Static standing balance test for postural control and stability
baseline and 9th week
